mac help

When I download my photos onto my computer, the metadata has the same data even though I took photos over a period of a month. Also when I adjust the same photos in a photo editing programe on my ipad then download them to my computer, they have two symbols that I'm unfamiliar with, I think one is a crop tool & one is a slide, can anyone help me.

 

What are the photos of? Just wondering because I'm interested in transferring my existing photos from my camera to my macbook.

 

Why would the subject of the OP's photos be useful for that?

To the OP: you'd have been better off posting this in the Mac Applications forum, where people look to find folks they can help with such concerns.
